Story
Max is an adorable 10 month old mixed breed male who weighs about 18 pounds and is at his full size. His brother had a DNA test done which revealed he is 47% Miniature American Shepherd, which is another name for Miniature Australian Shepherd. Max's foster says he is such an amazing pup. He lives for toys, doesn't matter what kind, he's loves stealing them and stashing them somewhere, Max is good with kids and other dogs. Max does well in a crate, and is potty trained. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed and microchipped, and he comes with his medical records and interstate health certificate from a veterinary examination prior to leaving Texas, which certifies him to be in good condition. Max's adoption fee will contribute to our program of readying additional dogs, puppies and kittens which we prepare, transport and adopt out in the Midwest. Our goal is to get as many homeless animals out of south Texas, where we have a severe pet overpopulation crisis. He is being fostered in Muskego, WI. His adoption fee is $500, which will be used to support the many animals in our care whose medical bills far surpass their much lower adoption fee. If you’re not already familiar with our group, please feel free to visit our Group Page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/TxRescueRidersCommunity If you are serious about this pup, please contact us at DogTrailRides@gmail.com. We take payments through Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp, or we can take card numbers over the phone and process them through Square. All of these methods provide a receipt. Thank you for supporting our efforts to bring Texas dogs north to loving homes! You can read more about us at https://facebook.com/TxRescueRiders (Texas Rescue Riders). Also feel free to join our Group Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/TxRescueRidersCommunity (Texas Rescue Riders Community) where members can post directly. We cannot guarantee breed or age. We assign breed and age designations based on veterinary advice and information from the prior owner.

Story
—> Cooper still searching 👀🔍 for his Fur-Ever Home! Winston was adopted ❣️Hello Biggie Paws 🐾 fans!! My name is Cooper! My brother Winston and I are new to this place called Wisconsin. We came here from Texas and were living in a shelter there, but let me tell you, Wisconsin is a much nicer place! I’d much rather be a cheesehead 🧀 anyway! I’m 6 months old and am already neutered. 💉 I weigh around 30 pounds and I’m told I could be an Australian Shepherd mix. I think that’s more what my brother looks 👀 like, and I’m his biggest fan, so I’ll agree.I love to run and play, especially with my brother, so I’d probably do better with another doggie 🐶 brother (or sister) in my new home. Sometimes my brother can be a little too obnoxious for my liking! But I also feel lonely without him. I’ve also made friends with cats 🐈 and even chickens 🐓 too! I just needed a little coaching from my foster mom to play nice, but with these huge, adorable ears, I make an excellent listener! I’m even gentle with smaller kids. I’m practically a professional at this thing called house training and my foster mom cheers me on while clapping her hands 👏🏼 as I’m doing my business outside. At night I sleep 😴 quietly in my kennel, but someday I might make a good snuggle buddy and get to cuddle up in a bed or on the couch next to you! 🥰 Now that the cooler football 🏈 weather is upon us, I’ve developed a super soft, velvety coat that’s perfect for warm snuggles! I walk nicely on a leash and I know to come when I’m called 📢 but will need more help with my recall and always supervised when outside 🏡 with a fence or not. If you adopt me, I promise to be your biggest fan!! Cooper is being fostered in central WI. He is microchipped and UTD on his shots. His adoption fee is $500.

Story
Hello My name is Banjo, and I am roughly six months old. My story starts being dumped with my sister, and we hid in a drainage ditch for a while. The rescue came and picked us up and life has changed forever. I love playing with other dogs. It can be chase or just wrestling or in the kiddie pool together! I do love my kiddie pool. I have a habit of carrying something in my mouth all the time. Usually, a stuffed animal or a squeaky toy. It makes me feel better and even try to talk a little with it in my mouth. It probably helps my insecurities after being dumped . I have been doing great in the house. I use a doggie door and sleep on a kuranda bed at night. The rescue did my DNA test, and I came back mostly German Shepard and Australian shepherd. The biggest thing I need is my confidence built up that I won’t be dumped again. I would prefer always having company ,human or dog. I am a big baby and trying to restore my faith in humans. I am neutered , micro chipped, up to date on vaccinations. My adoption fee covers a health certificate from the vet and transport from Tennessee.

Story
Meet Khloe! She is a 13 week old Australian shepherd rescued from a puppy mill.  Khloe is the sweetest little angel who loves cuddles.  We are working on potty training and she’s doing so good.  When we bring her outside she stays right by us and does come when we call her.  I think she will be very good with recall so having a fence I don’t think has to be a must.  She does well in a kennel and is really just such a great girl that’s will do well in a house with kids or ANY animals. Khloe is located in Racine, WI with her foster Crystal Johnson crysjohn26@gmail.com an adoption fee of $550 is required. To apply to adopt please go to www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org to complete the application. A spay/neuter agreement will also need to be completed.

Story
To preface we are not requiring her to be spayed, but it does show on her profile as a defaulted recommendation by the site. Zoey is a pure breed red merle and has two different colored eyes! Zoey is a fun-loving dog!She is amazing with kids and is able to socialize with other dogs. Zoey is adaptable, always ready to either play with you and go on an adventure or take a nap in the living room while you enjoy relaxing as a family. She loves walks and car rides. She is good to alert you of anyone walking by or coming to visit and is ready to greet people at the door. She is a very healthy dog, never have had issues. Our life is in transition right now and we are needing to find her a loving home. She is potty trained to outside, and knows how to use a potty pad indoors as well. She is also crate trained. She is a good girl and would be beautiful addition to a family.
